LyX is great, and if only LyX could a) generate code from math, b) run that code and also any other embedded code, c) produce and embed graphs and other illustrations from the results of running that code, then LyX would be perfect.

Basically we need to marry LyX and Jupyter.

I believe that the Literate Programming tool which I managed to work up:

https://github.com/WillAdams/gcodepreview/blob/main/literati...

(with a bit of help from folks on tex.stackexchange.com: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/722886/how-to-write-... )

could be used for that --- you'd just need to execute the code once it is written out, then read the files in once they have been made.
